TX soon to own an FD

ok i'm new here and new to fd's. I've always had a civic or put work into a civic, but owning an fd has always been on my to-do list. I have many plans for the rx7 i'm about to pick up, but not much knowledge on the rotary motor even though i do plan on getting rid of that later for something i have always wanted to put in an rx7. any help is appreciated especially shops in the houston area that can help with a rebuild of the motor i just need to get it running. hopefully i can learn as much about this car as i did with my civic. thanks guys

good luck man! do a ton of research! these cars are quite unique and you may find yourself tinkering with them a bit to keep them up and running. usually its not big issues but you will find alot of the solutions on the internet, wish ya the best!!

TX soon to own an FD *pics version*

Ok i introduced myself on here a while back but didn't have pics to show my new fd i picked up for 3300 not running. Well i finally brought it home a few days ago and after 4 long years of it sitting in someone's lot untouched i figured it needed a long awaited wash. Oh i'm Enrique from houston, tx and i'm glad to say i'm happy with my decision in getting an fd. Ok enough talk here is a few pics of it that i took with my phone.


my hatch and fd together
